The 21st International Conference on Availability, Reliability and Security

Date August 24 — August 27, 2026

ARES

The 21st International Conference on Availability, Reliability and Security (ARES) will bring together researchers and practitioners in the areas of security, dependability, and privacy. 

ARES aims at a full and detailed discussion of the research issues of dependability as an integrative concept that covers amongst others availability, safety, integrity, maintainability, covering important aspects of security in different fields and applications. 

ARES emphasizes the interplay between foundations and practical issues of dependability in important areas such as e-government, mobile applications, ubiquitous computing, autonomous computing, edge computing, confidential computing.  

ARES is devoted to the critical examination and research challenges of the various aspects of Dependable and Secure Computing and the definition of a future road map.  

 

ARES is ranked as B-conference in CORE. The acceptance rate of the ARES 2025 conference was 19,5% (full and SoK papers only). 

 

ARES 2026 will be published by Springer in Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LCNS).
